Who leads — and who's represented?

These organizations show the highest representation of women and nonbinary people alongside the highest racial diversity across both boards and staff. Staff cluster in the upper-right, while boards cluster around the center — indicating balanced representation across race and gender. This is the only group where both axes are consistently strong across governance and staff. They achieve this with the least capital and the most precarious funding base.

These organizations show high representation of women and nonbinary people across both boards and staff. Racial diversity remains low — and becomes more entrenched at the board level, where organizations cluster in the upper-left of the chart. Staff show more variation, with some organizations moving toward greater racial diversity — but this shift is not reflected in boards.

As white women-led organizations grow, women and nonbinary representation deepens — but board racial composition becomes more entrenched, not less. Growth reinforces the existing pattern.

Racial diversity increases across both boards and staff, with organizations shifting rightward in each chart. Staff cluster strongly in the upper-right, showing high representation of women and nonbinary people alongside racial diversity. Boards, however, remain more male-skewed. Intersectional representation is present in staff but not reflected in governance.

As men of color-led organizations grow, both racial diversity and women and nonbinary representation on staff increase. The board pattern — racially balanced, gender skewing male — holds.

The reference point. Low racial diversity across both boards and staff, with organizations clustering on the left side of each chart. Boards also show low representation of women and nonbinary people. Staff show some gender diversity, including clustering in the upper-left — but this is not reflected in boards and does not extend to racial diversity.

As white men-led organizations grow, women and nonbinary representation increases on staff — but not on boards, and not along racial lines. Growth adds one dimension of representation without the other.
